[The Rocwell Show] Guest Clutchfans founder David Hardisty

Stunned this thread isn't getting more action. This is a must listen.

Clutch gives a lot of great insight into the early days of Clutchfans/Clutchcity as well as his life after being granted a Media pass into Toyota Center, complete with anecdotes of meeting players and some of his best interview question moments, who's approachable and who's not.

Questions to @Clutch:

1. Have you asked a question yet, during the national broadcast post-game interviews in this year's playoffs. If not, you must be thinking about it.
2. I was hoping for a Ron Artest comment, given his famous comment in your signature?

 

Clutchfans is literally part of my daily life...#therapy

 

Is there a way to download it?

 

Here's the direct link to the .mp3. Click this link. My browser has a media player to start the mp3, and a download button.

Apologies to DJ RocWell for posting the direct link: Your podcast doesn't actually start playing from your websites. Had to jump through hoops to listen.

 

Look forward to listening to the podcast later this evening!

 

This is an absolutely essential listen. Tons of great insight.

 

Hell yeah

 

This

 

lol Clutch trolls with "the Russel Westbrook of three pt shooters".

 

Great to hear from Clutch. Awesome stuff. That interviewer is like classic pessimistic clutchfans poster. That’s the dude having a panic attack when the rockets 38 point lead is cut to 30. Oh **** we’re going to blow it again lol.

 

Thanks! Downloaded and will listen tomorrow while pretending to work.

 

Great interview! Love to be a part of it for so long.

I remember the original Clutchcity.net blue page and all...

One thing I missed in this interview though...was the online "broadcast" in mIRC. R2K, DoD doing the play by play by chat. To me that was the most example of fanatism we had.

Back in a day where the NBA wasn't so global as today, I couldn't watch all games. TV channels outside of US didn't have rights, and even if they did, only the national TV games would be on (so only a small portion of these games was the Rockets).

Clutchfans was there for me.

Man, good old times.
Thanks @Clutch !

 

Good listen.

 

Fantastic stuff.

DD

 

I wanted a Ron Ron comment too. That phone interview was unreal.

 

no video?
(why?)

 

This.

 

Just finished great stuff thanks for share nice to hear history of clutchfans...

 

If you have not listened to this pod, you really need to. Fantastic insight on the site we know and love.

Appreciate all the hard work that Clutch has put into making this truly the best fan site going. Proud to be a part of this community.
